Strange Symptoms And High Pitched Noise

You know the sensor things that you can put on your house so that when a cat enters your garden, it will emit a high pitched sounds that will deter
cats from going into your garden? Well, i know that most humans aren't able to hear them, but I, and a lot of other people can hear them, and I
always hear the noise while passing houses that I know have the sensors. It's like really irritating tinnitus, but much more prominent and I can
tell it comes from an external source rather than my inner-ears.

Anyways, lately i've been getting sudden attacks of a high pitched noise while at home, except the noise is very loud, and it's coming from my
head/ears. I've also been getting bouts of dizziness that literally last 2 seconds, go away, then 10 seconds later, another burst of noise, then
another 2 seconds of extreme dizziness.

I hate going to the doctor, so I asked my friend, who is a doctor, and they said that the "volume" of the noises aren't typical of tinnitus, and
that any dizziness that occurs due to inner-ear problems are usually longer than 2 seconds, and do not happen in bursts while at rest, only when
moving or getting up.

Extra bit of info, the noise doesn't seem to be coming from my ear, it's like i'm hearing it inside my head, but obviously sound is perceived
through the ears so .... eughh.

Anybody else getting this? Or sharp pains in certain parts of the body? I seem to be getting some in my left butt-cheek and down the thigh.

Do you per chance listen to anything with earphones or headphones? Also, how loud is this pitch when you hear it near these locations? It is not
unheard of for humans to be able to hear these frequencies, I've heard a few things that age has to do with it, I can't say for sure the validity of
that.

I don't use earphones often, no. Even on the occasion that I do use them, they aren't loud or anything

That's a good point to the last poster, when you turn on an old TV that has static rather than a blank blue screen, when you turn it on and you hear
that high-pictched sound, it sounds exactly like that but much more prominent, and louder.

Doesn't matter

The closer a sound is to the ear, the more elevated the pitch. It's the same general principle as why when you move away from the TV, the volume gets
lower. You also should remember headphones and earphones are both enclosed, where a room in your home probably is not acousticly enclosed, and has
lots of room for noise to scatter about.

Trust me bro, you're talking to someone who does nothing but have noise on in the background.

For that matter, the UHF levels of the devices which are used on dogs and cats can in some cases be quite damaging to your ears. If you are sensitive
enough to have heard them, you might have something seriously wrong with your ears, in which case, you definately owe it to yourself to get yourself
checked out. The pitch can cause long term or even lifetime damage.

Many people actually acquire the affect of a high pitched squeal in their hearing by the age of 5. The reason for this is due to sensitivity of the
ears. Any loud noise, or abnormal pitch causes a ring in the ear as sound vibrates within the ear itself. Typically though if it's gone on long
enough, people do eventually drown it out. It's why I normally have sound on in the background, to drown the noise out, otherwise...I can agree, it
can be quite deafening.

Hmmm, I was always of the opinion that you would have to have very GOOD hearing to be able to hear higher pitched frequencies, as dogs and cats'
hearing is classed as good to be able to hear them ... if i stopped being able to hear even regular frequencies properly, then i'd be worried ...

Not necessarily. You have to think of it also in laymans terms. How many years worth of damage have your ears gone through? I like to look at it as
when you're born, everything is new, your senses are maxed, as you get older, you can train your senses to home in on things, but not necessarily
hear, see, or sense others. This theory would work well with the idea of younger aged people being able to hear these frequencies.

The pitch impacting the ears should be treated the same way as any other loud noise is treated. Exposure can cause long term side effects including
deafness later in life. Most of the time it can be remedied simply by keeping loud noises away, by padding the ears, but sometimes it may require
more.

I should note if you could verify the emitter for the frequency was aimed at you, it could cause substantially more damage. Strain causes problems,
whether or not they're apparent immediately is another story.

From what you've described, I'd like to bet that it is the beginning of Tinnitis - Have your ears syringed then see how it goes after that - an
infection of the inner ear could cause similar probs. I don't understand why your Doctor friend hasn't suggested some investigations?

Check your blood pressure and blood sugar. If all is well, have your ears examined and your hearing checked. If all is still well, it may be stress.
Or maybe psychosomatic.
There are also a number of supernatural or metaphysical theory's but I never paid much attention to that. Too much fluff for me. Good luck.

I am a smoker, but my blood pressure/heart rate/everything is fine with me, I had a hospital check-up about a month ago.

Supernatural links? Hmmm, I did have that silly incident that I documented in a thread in the Paranormal Forum where I "invited" something into me
and dreamt that same night that a demon entered me, and woke up contorted and called Jesus' name, even though i'm not religious in any way.

I somehow don't see that as a method of causing possible sciatica and high-pitched noises though

I find it worrying that someone would post about a likely health issue on a conspiracy forum rather than go to a GP. It's not as if it is going to
cost the OP anything. Healthcare has already been paid for in our UK taxes.
Get checked out then post again if necessary.

I have been getting it it a lot lately, though I assume it is tinnitus. But also, that pain sounds like a sciatica, which I have had a few times in
the last two months, but always on the right side. Last week I had something rather debilitating happen on my left side though, and have been more or
less bedridden, as my back and left hip hurts so bad. I'm going to a doctor this afternoon and will see what he says, but I doubt there is anything
"paranormal" about it, and our similarities in experience may only be coincidence..... but you never know, I guess.

FINALLY! i have been waiting for so long for someone else to mention this. I know exactly what you are talking about. Being a musician i am very
fimiler with tinnitus, and can tell 100% this is not tinnitus.
Many people or doctors will rule this of with some typical diagnosis but please do not listen to them.

I have been experiencing this for a year and have searched and searched and found nothing.

So i began asking myself for answers.
I am 98% SURE this noise we hear is an adjustment to a higher frequency.

Let me guess... its starts off really low and over 30s- 2minutes and it gets louder and louder til POP!
You enter a different state of mind.

Not sure how long you have been experiencing this but i cant tell you the feeling you get after the pop.
Stays a little bit longer each time.
Eventually it becomes more and more normal.
My mind resides in a completely different place now than it did before this started happening.
and i believe its only going to get stronger and stronger the more our body adapts.
